What Are “Compassion-Oriented” Social Media Scams?

The Other Side Of The Firewall

In this episode, the hosts discuss a social media scam that preys on compassion. Scammers create posts about children in need and embed nefarious links, tricking people into sharing the posts and potentially stealing their data. The hosts emphasize the importance of being cautious and not clicking on suspicious links, even if they appear to be from legitimate sources. They also discuss the need for more education on cybersecurity, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly. The episode concludes with a reminder to subscribe to their podcast and check out their articles and newsletters.
